Vitale advised Manuzzi S.r.l., a leading Italian company in the processing and distribution of nuts and dried fruits, and its shareholders (including the private equity fund Hyle Capital and founder Aurelio Manuzzi) on the sale of 100% of the share capital to Acomo N.V., a Euronext Amsterdam-listed group and leading international player in plant-based food ingredients.

Based in Cesena, Manuzzi produces and markets a wide range of nuts, seeds, kernels, and dried fruits, serving large-scale retail chains, wholesalers, and the food industry. The company operates primarily in the private label segment and is also present on the market with its well-recognized “Manuzzi” brand.

The transaction enables Acomo to further strengthen its Spices & Nuts division and expand its presence in Southern Europe. As part of the deal, Aurelio Manuzzi will continue to lead the company’s growth, retaining his role as Chief Executive Officer.

Vitale acted as financial advisor to the sellers offering support in the structuring of the transaction, in the negotiation phases and in the coordination of due diligence activities.
